Thanks for your help.
I've actually made this mistake before - I want my male character standing behind a tree next to the lake at Hogwarts. I always make it a willow tree, but it is obviously not the whomping willow unless there's some euphemism I'm not familiar with (which is a definite possibility), so what tree could he stand behind or possibly climb that would work on the Hogwarts grounds, have shade cover (if it were daylight and we cared about such things) and would do well next to the lake.
Also, do we know who was Head Boy and Head Girl or any of the prefects from Harry's non-existent 7th year. Or call it Neville's 7th year.
Thanks all.

These are notes that I took when I attended Pat Carr’s workshop: Writing the Male Protagonist. This workshop is geared to women writing male characters. She feels you cannot possibly get inside the head of someone you have never been, and therefore you need to write from the 3rd person exterior – showing what your male characters are doing, rather than what they are thinking or feeling. It was incredibly interesting.
